Friday Five – Cheesecake addition

This past food week included National Cheesecake Day. Where or who has the best cheesecake? In Chicago, the most famous is Eli’s Cheesecake. For anyone who has ever tried to make cheesecake, you know that it is a very subtle dessert to get just right. What secrets have you learned to get just the right consistency?

So let’s begin our decadent journey. Our first presentation is called Dad’s Cheesecake Bars. The creation of this recipe has nothing to with her father. This recipe is the creation of Aida Mollenkamp – Pairs well with Food.

How about a fusion cheesecake? Marrying an Italian dessert with the classic. So now for a bad joke. What do you get when you put together tiramisu with cheesecake? A Tiramisu Cheesecake. I didn’t say it would be good. This beautiful marraige was the brainchild of Oh Sweet Day.

And now demonstrating the versatility of the cheesecake and the creativity of bloggers, check out this Mint Chocolate Cheesecake Popsickles from My Baking Addiction found over at Good Life Eats.

OMG! You drug dealer. What a varied and wonderful and yes decadent roster of cheesecakes. I pinned them all. I am having a small dinner party Sunday night. I am serving cheesecake, but I am sooooo torn as to what to choose. Maybe I will have to make an array. Forget the rest of the dinner and just have a cheesecake buffet.
